Reviews and Ratings
I had a very comfy stay at the hotel, with spotless rooms that were clean and very comfortable. However, the room's layout in the converted attic made it a bit cramped for two people due to the sloping roof. The location in a quiet village close to the banks of Loch Ken was perfect for exploring Galloway Forest.
The hotel is located in the quiet little town of New Galloway in beautiful Dumfries and Galloway, ideal for walking and with a lovely bar at the front. The rooms are comfortable and breakfast is nice, but the street noise can be disruptive at night. The welcome drink is a nice touch, but pet amenities are not readily available.
My stay at the Cross Keys Hotel in New Galloway was overall delightful. The rooms were spotless and provided a very comfy stay, although the lack of a bath was a slight downside. The location, nestled close to the banks of Loch Ken, was stunning and peaceful.
I had a pleasant stay at the hotel, enjoying the comfort of the clean rooms and the friendly staff. The central location was perfect for exploring New Galloway, although some noise from the street could be heard. The breakfast was average, lacking variety, but the price of £116 per night seemed fair.
The hotel is perfectly located in the center of New Galloway, ideal for walking and bird watching. The rooms are not really suitable for two due to sloping roofs, and there were issues with dampness or water damage. The dining options are good with a hearty cooked breakfast, but lacking in jams/marmalade. The hotel is cluttered with items that don't highlight its period charm, but it serves as a great base to explore the Galloway Forest Park area.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The room I stayed in was small, located up several flights of stairs in an attic, and only accessible by an external metal staircase. While it had a shower, the lack of a bath made me eagerly anticipate my next stop that offered one. However, the service provided, including housekeeping and pet amenities, was satisfactory. The location, in a quiet village near Loch Ken, offered a perfect base to explore the beautiful Galloway Forest. The dining experience was average, with a basic menu lacking juice or fruit, but the generous portions made up for it.
